Morning briefing

Six Masai warriors from Tanzania running in the London Marathon today have been issued a four-page briefing of cultural dos and don’ts that warned them, among other things, not to urinate in public or attempt to herd sheep and cows, the London Daily Mail reported.

The warriors, who will run in traditional red robes while carrying shields and sticks, have entered the race to raise money to dig water wells in their drought-stricken country.

But it is the first time any of the warriors, who reside in remote villages, have visited England.

London’s calling, find a bathroom

The briefing also told the warriors that they could not rely on the sun to tell time, and that in England “it is illegal to show certain parts of the body and for this reason it is important that you wear underpants if you are wearing your blankets.”

Trivia time

On this date in 1997, Tiger Woods won his first Masters title, setting tournament records by shooting 18-under 270 and winning by 12 strokes. Who finished second?

Stadium accessory

The new Yankee Stadium opens next season with all the bells and whistles Yankees fans could want and perhaps one that they don’t.

The New York Post reported that a Red Sox fan working on the construction crew mixed a Red Sox T-shirt into the concrete that forms the floor of the visitors’ clubhouse.

“It’s the curse of the Yankees,” an unidentified worker told the paper. “Nobody knows about it. It’s in the floors, it’s buried.”

Yankees spokesman Howard Rubenstein said it sounded like a “tall tale” and even if true, he wasn’t worried.

“It would take more than a Red Sox T-shirt to put a curse on the Yankees,” he said.

Out of the indoor

The entire football operations staff of the Milwaukee Bonecrushers of the Continental Indoor Football League has resigned or been fired after the team’s 0-3 start to the season.

Among the departed is head coach Gilbert Brown, the former Green Bay Packers defensive lineman, and general manager Chris Kokalis. There are nine games left in the regular season.

In other news: There is something called the Continental Indoor Football League.

Dancing with the cars

Julianne Hough, who last fall won “Dancing with the Stars” with IndyCar driver Helio Castroneves, has been pegged to sing the National Anthem at the Indianapolis 500 next month.

Wait, a dancer is going to sing? What’s next, the American Idol winner doing a dance recital at the Olympics opening ceremony?

Need some relief

The Washington Nationals entered the weekend with a 4.71 team earned-run average -- among the worst in the National League, but help could be coming as Shawn Hill is close to returning from the disabled list.

Asked if it would be a tough roster decision when Hill returns, General Manager Jim Bowden smirked.

“You’re not watching our pitching staff?” he said. “I’ve got lots of moves I can make.”

It sounded good

Robert Dunham, an 85-year-old legally blind golfer, made a hole in one last week on the third hole at Tortuga Golf Course in Green Valley, Ariz.

His ace elicited an eruption of cheers and high-fives from those in his group, but the World War II veteran was skeptical. “I thought they were kidding me,” Dunham said. “I told them, ‘You guys better not be pulling my leg.’ ”

Maybe you do have to see it to believe it.

Trivia answer

Tom Kite was runner-up to Woods.

And finally

Chicago White Sox Manager Ozzie Guillen was fined by Major League Baseball for accusing umpire Phil Cuzzi of having a vendetta against him.

Nothing new for Guillen, who said he is no stranger to fines.

“I could buy land in Venezuela with that money,” he said.
